Post a supplier with a supplier number with leading spaces causing issues in the ERP

[RMaarssen]

Post a supplier with a supplier number with leading spaces can not be used anymore.

"1234" works, but " 1234" cannot be used anymore.

{
"number" : {
"value" : " 1234" },
"name" : {
"value" : "Elvy" }

}

Hello,

could you please enlighten us about why would you need to create a supplier with leading spaces via API which is also not possible to manually create in the UI ?

Hello,

Can you please remove supplier "   1234" and "   12312" for me from the database ?

Hello, 

thank you for the clarification, we confirm that there is an issue with validation on SupplierNumber while sending POST request via API. This is currently allowed and causing erroneous / malformed records in the Financials ERP. 

We neither have access to your company nor DB. If you could email us informing your Company name and ID (developersupport@visma.com), we can check possibilities with the infrastructure team about how these records can be removed from your company.

Hello,

I don't need to, but i encountered the problem from the Elvy application while developing. So i posted it here. Maybe adjust the API so the validation checks for this issue.
